run the updates for all of these programs, then go into safe mode and run them one by one not all at the same time. If you have another Anti virus tool then remove that before installing AVG free.

Also go to Start >> Run type: msconfig
look at all the enterys under the STARTUP tab and carefully deselect those you believe are Malicious, if you are unsure type them on here and we can instruct weather to remove or not.

do this and then come back with results.
